The more I look at it the more I like it, I may just have to get this instead of a 2013 FX2 Screw...

hmmm, a Livernois tune will make this a lightning killer. At 5,000lbs & 4.10 gears she will scoot. I'm thinking stock for stock it will own a Lightning because of the tranny and gears. Not sure on the L's factory torque #'s.

update.. found the power for 2003 L. It has more torque, plus 300lbs lighter. It would be a good match.

"A 5.4-liter SOHC Triton� V-8 powers the 2003 SVT F-150 Lightning. The Triton� V-8 is mated with an Eaton� GEN IV supercharger that breathes through an intercooler, providing 380 horsepower at 4,750 rpm and 450 foot-pounds of torque at 3,250 rpm.
Transferring the power to the wheels is a four-speed automatic transmission, strengthened with the same internals used behind Ford's PowerStroke� diesel. Routed through an aluminum driveshaft for increased strength, power is then transformed into acceleration by a 9-inch traction-lock differential with a 3.73:1 gear ratio. "

here is a press release from Ford... it looks like they just combined all the mechanicals in the fastest package possible, and then added some pretty stuff (seats, wheels, stickers, etc)


DEARBORN, Mich., June 27, 2013 – The 2014 Ford F-150 Tremor is the first-ever EcoBoost®-powered sport truck that addresses the needs of street truck enthusiasts looking for high-performance V8 power with V6 fuel economy.

The short-wheelbase, regular-cab Tremor goes on sale this fall delivering distinctive looks and performance. The all-new truck couples the style of the FX Appearance Package with an EcoBoost engine and a launch-optimized 4.10 rear axle – the shortest final drive ratio offered in an EcoBoost F-150 – helping provide customers with fast acceleration.

Tremor signals its sport truck capabilities with a custom-inspired FX Appearance Package featuring stealthy, flat-black accents that include unique 20-inch flat-black wheels, stylized bodyside graphics and black badges with red lettering.

Tremor is the only regular-cab F-150 offering a flow-through center console and bucket seats. Interior touches include black leather seating surfaces with red piping, brushed-metal accents and a red-stitched steering wheel. Alcantara seat inserts add texture and style as well.

“The new Tremor gives F-150 customers yet another option to drive a highly capable, distinctive performance truck with features typically found only in the aftermarket,” said Brian Bell, F-150 product marketing manager. “Plus, the Built Ford Tough EcoBoost engine is available for the first time in a short-wheelbase F-150.”

F-150 Tremor is powered exclusively by Ford’s groundbreaking 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine, which features:

365 horsepower at 5,000 rpm on regular fuel
420 lb.-ft. of torque at 2,500 rpm
Twin independent variable camshaft timing for improved performance and fuel economy
Up to 90 percent peak torque available from 1,700 rpm to 5,000 rpm

An electronic locking rear differential that’s standard for both two- and four-wheel-drive versions helps deliver the power to the pavement by improving traction during takeoff.

Connectivity comes standard on F-150 Tremor with MyFord Touch® powered by SYNC®. Designers have optimized the physical interface for MyFord Touch to accommodate truck users who may be wearing work gloves by providing easy access to climate controls and audio presets on the center stack.

Motortrend has a few more pics. A couple of facts I drew out of this pic-




Note the Lariat derived grille-not sure if all fx style trucks, just appearance package trucks, or only Tremors will have this grille. Also, note the gap in the bumper. Does anyone else see the protector they have there? I wonder if this is a new for 2014 thing on all eco's.....

Honestly, I think this is a smart move by Ford... tapping into a dead segment that no one can touch them with. No make right now could touch that power and mpg. I think the mpg might be a bit low though due to the 4.10s

And I hate to say it, but if I would totally drive that minus the horrid decals. I would however have the stock exhaust altered and exit in front of the tire... stock muffler and everything thing tho, just nice tips and the like. I can't believe I said that :o
